There's a long-standing academic tradition of teaching researchers, and frankly that makes a lot of sense and is a really important part of scientific education.
Otherwise scientific education becomes like school teaching, and you end up learning that science is the things that your book says are true.
Rather, science is the living of body of knowledge based on experiment and logical thinking. It's a very subtle difference that I don't think can be taught if you're not an active researcher, it's not sufficient to state that in the abstract.
